Speed master (Product Review)
The Good
Fast, corner slayer, does not feel like a big bike at all
The Bad
brand name
Overall Review
I had a chance to ride this bike in Crested Butte last weekend. The bike is amazing, corners like a bmx, I was laying this puppy side ways on the berms and the rear just railed. Very impressed by the new design, chatted with Tyler for a while. A very passionate and knowledgeable individual. Bike is light, and agile, pops off anything, and just like a slacked 29er rolls over the rocks like they are not there. The only other bike that i have ridden that come close is the EVIL Wreckoning. the seat tube angle is not the typical angle and you could it will make the climbs much easier, while railing...

Another Direct-to-Consumer Contender: Introducing the Fezzari La Sal Peak (Product Review)
Overall Review
There is something good going on in the Salt Lake and Park City region. It seems that when a bike company wants to have a good time, these sprawling mountains offer plenty of opportunity. Fezzari very recently invited us to the area to ride their latest bike, a big 150/160mm travel 29er. Free of Power Point presentations, marketing claims, and pretenses, they focused their energy on making sure their bikes were trail ready and that we spent our time getting dirty in the high-alpine backcountry. Let's check out the new La Sal Peak. La Sal Peak Highlights 27.5+ or 29-inch wheels CleanCast carbon...

2019 Giant Trance Advanced Pro 29 0
Overall Review
Giant’s trail focused Trance platform has seen its fair share of changes over the years, adhering to both emerging standards and bouncing between wheel sizes. Yet for the 2019 Trance, Giant has potentially made its most significant leap forward to date. Taking cues from their enduro smashing Reign platform and the ever-evolving landscape of mountain biking, the latest iteration of Giant’s best selling off-road machine pleasantly took us by surprise. 2019 Trance Advanced Pro 29 Highlights 115mm rear travel // 130mm front travel Advanced composite mainframe and subframe Maestro suspension system...

2019 Marin Alpine Trail 8
Overall Review
The phrase “Made for Fun” is written somewhere on all of Marin’s bikes, their steadfast mantra. It is an ideology emphasized in the brand’s catalog, as there are no “filler” bikes or wonky in-betweeners, just fun shred-ready bikes that stack the ratio of smiles per mile. The ethos of the re-birthed Marin keeps the focus tight and on track, which is paramount when reshaping a 32-year-old company with roots firmly planted in the humble beginnings of mountain biking. Fresh and progressive, but sensible and smart would be a good way to describe the designs. For 2019, Marin has gone ahead and...

2017 Trek Slash 9.9 29 Race Shop Limited
Not for the shy (Product Review)
The Good
Stiffness / Geo / Spec / Viper red
The Bad
No carbon wheels as standard / Talas
Overall Review
The slash9.9 is nothing but wildfire, it’s smouldering looks hide what’s it’s built for and that’s speed. The Slash as a whole loves speed the faster you go the suspension starts to sing, traction is never a issue part being 29r and geo/suspension balance. Fox X2 never fails to impress through various content. The downside just sell a kidney and get carbon wheels and the ride evolves further and upgrade to a Float from Talas, it’s a bike that splits the field in half. You may find bike which may offer better performance in one area but fails in others, the slash rates high through all types of...

2019 Pivot Trail 429 Pro XT/XTR 1X
Overall Review
Pivot's Mach 429 Trail was born from cross-country roots with a hint of some big bike influence. During a previous Vital MTB Test Sessions it wowed us with its incredible sense of efficiency and playful, spritely, rocket ship feel, but it often fell behind when trail conditions got hairy. New for 2019, Pivot has redesigned the frame with a ground-up approach and a clear focus on making the bike more capable. They've tweaked the name as well, and it's now simply referred to as the Trail 429. So, what's different? What's better? We break down the details and give our impressions from an...
